About Romanian Leu (lei)

The Romanian Leu (RON, ISO 4217 code 946, symbol lei; the plural of 'leu' meaning 'lion' in Romanian) is the official currency of Romania, issued by Banca Naศ›ionalฤƒ a Romรขniei (BNR, est. 1880). Subdivided into 100 bani. Banknotes: 1 leu, 5 lei, 10 lei, 20 lei, 50 lei, 100 lei, 200 lei, 500 lei (the highest denomination; current polymer series introduced 2005 features Romanian historical figures โ€” Nicolae Iorga, Aurel Vlaicu, Nicolae Grigorescu, Ion Luca Caragiale, Mihail Kogฤƒlniceanu, Lucian Blaga, Constantin Brรขncuศ™i, George Enescu); coins: 1 ban, 5 bani, 10 bani, 50 bani. Romania redenominated its currency on July 1, 2005 โ€” 1 'new leu' (RON) = 10,000 old lei (ROL โ€” ISO 946 reused) โ€” reducing dramatically large nominal values that had resulted from 1990s inflation. Romania joined the EU in 2007 with a commitment to Euro adoption (originally targeted 2015, then 2019, then 2024, now indefinitely postponed beyond 2030). The BNR targets 2.5% CPI inflation ยฑ 1 percentage point. Romania is the EU's 7th-most-populous country (~19 million) and the 12th-largest EU economy by GDP (~$380B).

Uruguay is South America's smallest Spanish-speaking country (~3.4 million population) and one of Latin America's most-developed economies (~$80B GDP) โ€” Uruguay consistently ranks #1 in Latin America for Democracy Index, Corruption Perceptions Index, Press Freedom, and Economic Freedom. The country abolished income tax, legalized cannabis (the first country to do so nationally, in 2013), abolished same-sex marriage prohibitions (2013), and legalized abortion (2012) โ€” all under President Josรฉ 'Pepe' Mujica's broad social-democratic agenda.
